TO ALL WHOM AI'lfhltIAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, HOAGE PARK, in the county of Franklin, State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved-formed Ironing-Table; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making a part of this speciiication. j

The nature of my invention is an isosceles triangulantopped table, the top projecting independent of two oi' the legs, except by the bridge C, with a rack, B, underneath, fastened to the bridge C, nenr the floor, for the purpose of receiving the finished and unfinished portions of whatever article of clothing is being ironed.

The tab-le is especially adapted to ironing fine dresses, skirts, and underclothing, as they can be ironed by` the single thickness, and the finished portions safely kept from runipling by the rack B Construction of the Table.

lhe top A is isosceles triangular shaped, made of the kind of wood the least affected by heat and dnmpness. The rack B to be made of light, stiii` wood and anti-corrosive wire, and rmly fastened, yet easily detached, to the bridge C. The bridge C, braces D, and legs F to be made of cast iron, open-work or trestle-shaped, to

be firmly screwed together at all the connections, making a stiff, firm table, with the main portion ofthe top of the table projecting, the legs being fastened at but one end, the base ofthe triangle.

Manner of Using the Table.

The dress, skirt, or other similar article to be ironed must beV slipped on the projecting point of the table, the waist coming just to the point of the table. The portions ofthe article not on the top of the table will be held by the rack beneath. As the article is ironed it can be easily shifted in such a manner that the rack B will receive the finished portion on one side, giving off the unfinished on the other side, with little or no danger of rumpling the finished parts, at the same time ironing but a single thickness of cloth.` Bed-clothing can be ironed in a, similar manner. l

What I'claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Paten-t, isv The combination of the top A, bridge C, braces' D, rack B, and legs F, all arranged as described.4
